Nikon Japan will announce the official release date for the Nikkor Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR lens on August 17th (the previously reported dpreview forum post was wrong).
I was told that the demand for this lens has been very high and the pre-order lists are very long. Yesterday I reported that Nikon Japan already posted a warning on their website: “Due to the large number of orders for the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR, it may take some time to deliver. So thank you in advance for your understanding.”

Update: the translation is not very clear – it seems that Nikon will announce the lens release date on August 17th.
